Zing Games Bundle Christmas Present Giveaway For Kids 4+

Zing Games make active family games that will keep everyone awake this Christmas. They have given
me two of their new games to give away to one lucky reader - Blast Box and Stik’em.
Lively and fast-paced, these are party games everyone can play and if your children are anything like mine, they will love them!

Blast Box (£19.99rrp) is not one for the faint-hearted! Inside the box are a big plastic crate, spinner, hammer, 30 plastic nails (not sharp), a balloon pump and 100 small balloons - plus 20 cardboard fasteners (brilliant because my kids can never manage to tie off balloons themselves). You can see where this is going!

Blast Box really has you on edge! I'm not even scared by small bangs and popping balloons, but when you know it's coming it has the kids squealing with delight! Inflate one balloon per player and put them inside the Blast Box. Use the spinner to determine how many spikes you have to hammer in and off you go. Burst a balloon and you're out!

Blast Box has an accompanying free app. but we haven't yet has chance to try it out and it isn't necessary to gameplay. Each game requires 5 minutes set up and lasts around 15 minutes - longer if you are playing with nervous players! Suitable for 2-4 or more players aged 4+.

Stik’em Game (£14.99rrp) is another lively and fast-paced game. Suitable for 2 or more players aged 4+, although only 4 can play at once. You need the free app to play - unless one player fancies doing the sound effects!

Place all the cards face up on the table, arm yourself with a suction cup stick and listen to the randomly played sounds from the app. Find the correct card and slap it with the suction cup to claim it as your own. There are 4 of each card, so it isn't a fight as much as a contest to see who can look and move quickest!

There are several different games and my boys tried them all, although the Classic is probably the most all-round popular. None of them are tricky or need any time to learn the rules, and the cards are very clear - even younger players won't mistake any of the sounds.

Blast Box and Stik'em are very lively games and ideal for when the younger members of the family need to use up their excess energy. Great fun, well made and very effective.

Zing Games have kindly offered one of my readers both games as a Christmas Present. Entry to the giveaway is by Gleam form below. It is open to UK entrants only and will end at midnight Sunday 10th December in time for Christmas delivery. Full terms and conditions are at the bottom of the Gleam form.

It was a game I think was called Hopping frogs, you pressed them down and when they popped up then you had to catch them. Myslef and my 2 sisters would be running round the room screaming with delight. We loved it but the noise must have driven my mum mad

Xylophone drums and guitars --any musical instrument - not great with ALL 9 of us playing at the same timeNo wonder dad has hearing aids now 😂😂😂😂😂Operation when someone cheated you'd hear a might roar@

It wasn't a game but I had some balloons in a stocking, they were called rocket balloons...I think. Just long stripy pink ballons, you blue them up with a tube and let them go and they would screech round the room!
